• a person living in the vicinity of the premises, or
• a body representing persons who live in that vicinity, or

"In the vicinity of the premises" is not a phrase defined in the legislation and will depend upon the individual situation. Generally this has been interpreted within the Elmbridge area as meaning within a few hundred metres of the premises concerned but each representation will be considered in the light of the individual application. If you do not live in the vicinity of the premises or your business is not in the vicinity of the premises your representation or request will be deemed to be invalid.
